Police Inspector, 5 Others Shot As Militants Storm Lagos Community by mediang: 5:35pm On Jul 24, 2016 |
There was tension in Fatoki community in the Igando area of Lagos as suspected militants stormed the area. The hoodlums stormed the community in the wee hours of yesterday and unleashed terror on the residents. The militants were said to have attempted to abduct a wealthy man in the area but the man fortuitously escaped. The militants were said to have started shooting sporadically at anyone they saw, and in the process shot a Police Inspector and other people. It was gathered that the community sent a distress call to the Police who stormed the place and engaged the militants in a gun battle that lasted for about two hours. A police source told Sunday Sun that when the militants exhausted their bullets, they escaped through Totowu Waterways, Ogun State and abandoned some of their guns. A resident, Donald Asiedu said: “We have a vigilance group. We were at our duty posts when the militants stormed our community. They had more superior arms than us. We took to our heels. They were armed with GPMG (general purpose machine gun, with ammunition chains). They were shooting everywhere. I thank God that we were able to escape from the militants. Asiedu said the militant attempted to kidnap a businessman (names withheld), but the man escaped through the window. http://mediamatters.com.ng/militants-storms-lagos-community-shoots-a-police-inspector-and-5-others/ |
